Abstract
In this work, we have synthesized large diameter multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), by simple catalyst chemical vapor deposition (CCVD). Fe powder was spread on quartz substrate as a catalyst by a simple method and then heated under Ar atmosphere. Carbon’s products can be synthesized by the decomposition of ethylene gas and deposition of carbon atoms on the Fe catalyst particles in Ar atmosphere at 930°C. XRD pattern, SEM and TEM images were used to investigate the characteristics, morphology and structure of carbon’s products.
